No this is not happening anywhere, where are you coming with this kind of things? Coal company producing only coal-generated power don't buy green credits. If 100GW renewal energy is produced, who or how it is being used is irrelevant, because the alternative would be 100GW energy generated through non-renewable resources. I don't in which version of reality is that a bad thing, regardless of who buys whatever REC credit.
